Drug Addiction: Causes & Prevention

The issue of drug addiction is present in our world for a long time. The UN report establishes horrific consequences of drug addiction as it was reported that nearly 200,000 people are killed each year due to drug addiction. Moreover, the UN also provides that an amount of $250 billion needs to be incurred every year to treat the drug addicts of their misery. It is also proved by the Associated Press that only one in five (20%) people actually receive the treatment and the rest are exposed to the danger of death or miserable consequences.

However having said that, the drug addiction cure is still not an easy task and is mostly not allowed by the addict himself. The reason why addiction is so hard to control resides in the very fact that the patient is not willing to forego his ill habit of addiction. There is a need of developing a will power firstly in an individual so that he understands the demerits of addiction and decides to get rid of this dreadful habit.
